| Quest ion.
| NEW YORK, January 21st.-The Tri5une's
London special says The contest at Liver
| pool is an energetic one on both sides, but
! Goschen's election is expec ed. His first
speech was awaited eagerly as the first
ministerial statement since the crisis He
! expressly declined TO lit the curtain. but it
is evident enough, if disbursement exists
IN the Cabipet, as alleged, that Goschen,
who has joined the fighting wing does not
share 1t, nor does Salisbury. They do not
| think the plan of campaign" is going to
| win. They regard the Gladstonian confer
ence with Chamberlain as an attempt to
csjole Chamberlain which is not destined
TO succeed. No part of Goschen's speech is
more important than the peremptory
denial OF the story that Salisbury is sup
| porting Prince Alexander for the Bulga-
riln throne. There is, said Goschen,
mo foundation for the rumor so peril
naciously circulated that the British For
| eign Office or any British Minister has
worked directly or indirectly for the resto-
| ration of Price Alexander to the rulership
of Bulgaria England he added has
given no opinion on the filling of this va
! cancy, and will give none till asked,
according to the provisions of the treaty of
Berlin, and will do nothing to separate her-
self from the other treaty powers" That
| treasures public opinion, which has been
disturbed, not by the unwearied repetitions
of this fable in the Russian organ in Lon
don, bat by warlike reports from Berlin,
Vienna and Paris. England, it is now
known, has not even opposed Russia's last
scheme. Russia asks that the Regency
should resign and new Sobranje be elect
ed, excluding Eastern Roumelia and that
the two Russian agents be appointed Min
listers. England Jointly with Austria and
Italy, it is said, will not object to this if
the Bulgarians agreeto it. Ii is also true
that Bulgaria will not agree to it, unless
convinced that she has been abandoned by
all Europe, as well as by Germany and
France.
The Prussian Budget.
BERLIN, January 21st.-Herr Won Scholz,
Prussian Minister of Finance, to-day pre-
sented the Budget TO the lower House of
the Prussian Diet This states that the
trade of Prussia has improved, decreasing
the deficiency in the revenues. The grants
for the provincial district authorities of the
kingdom call for 100000 marks, instead
of $4,000, 600 in the previous year. The
railroad receipts for the fiscal year will ex-
ceed the expenses by 20,000,000 marks.
The receipts for the income tax will be
larger than heretofore, proving that the
prosperity of the urban population has
much increased. The statistics show that
the population in the rural districts has
lessened. In conclusion, the Budget states
that the Reichstag's rejection of the army
bill places all other questions in the back
ground. On this account, the Finance
Minister abstained from referring to the
development of indirect taxation. In con-
sequence of the large expectation from
Mecklenberg and Westphalia, a proposal
TO forbid these exports will be submitted
to the Bundesrath forthwith.
Situation Regarded as Serious.
CHICAGO, January 2lst.-An inspired let
ter from Berlin says: In Government
circles here the situation is regarded as
serious. The peaceful tone of the French
press is not assuring, as it S evident the
papers have been ordered officially to adopt
peaceful attitude. There can be no ques-
ton that France is preparing military
camps on the German frontier. 1t remains
to be seen whether plausible reason can
be given for this.
